The Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury has recommended that the County consolidate many of its small school districts into four larger districts. The civil grand jury says the move will save the County in administrative costs — but critics say the move won’t save money and students would be better served by smaller districts.

Guests:

Angie Cardoza, jury foreman for the Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury

Barry Groves, superintendent of the Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District

Michael Kirst, professor emeritus of education and business administration at Stanford University and former president of the California Board of Education

William Mathis, managing director of education and the Public Interest Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder

David Gordon, superintendent of the Sacramento County Office of Education
